. that means forget about other taxes like capital gains and all that stuff and the obama care taxes. you're looking at a rate that's a little bit over 50%. that means for every additional dollar, every new golf tournament, every new endorsement you get, you get less than half of every additional dollar. so that's going to have a big effect on your decision making. i'm not saying that rich people shouldn't pay a reasonable share of taxes. that's totally fair enough. but once you get to those very high rates, it starts affecting your economic activity and that has big consequences for everyone else. not only that, but when a state like california depends more on those high earners, the tax base gets really volatile. >> but here's the deal. 98% of the country is saying phil, shut up. they would love to make $40 million a year. they would love to win a golf tournament and make $1 million. he was right when he said i should have kept my criticism to myself, because he looks like a whiner. here's the other piece. when he goes and plays in a golf tournament, know what he wants? he wants the peo
